As someone not used to conveyancing in Cookham what is your top tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Cookham

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Cookham and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For instance, the seller, property agent and sometimes a lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Cookham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

There is a worrying creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer above the other parties in the conveyancing process.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Cookham is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cookham may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Cookham

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Cookham conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
